From the rdev man page: 

rdev [ -o offset ] [ image [ root_device [ offset ] ] ]

I had a look on the ramdisks, bootdisk and the cdrom, but there does not seem to be
a file called rdev. It must be loaded using am rpm, so:

rpm -qf /usr/sbin/rdev
util-linux-2.5-4

Did you delete the load of the util-linux-2.5-4 rpm package?
